Technology has yet to catch up with the new forms of entertainment that it has itself enabled.
Parodies using excerpts from Oliver Herschbiegel's 2004 film, "Downfall" have been removed from YouTube on orders from the movie's copyright owners, Constantin Films. The dialogue for the movie is in German, and enterprising satirists have used short portions of the movie, replacing the English subtitles with their own. The results are usually scenes of Hitler ranting in anger at his staff, with the translations indicating he is furious over, say, Kanye West's behavior at the MTV awards, or that the iPad can't multitask.
The problem lies in the way that Constantin Films had the clips removed.
